Coles Store No 1, Smith Street, Collingwood (April 2006)

The former Coles No 1 store (at 172 Smith Street) now forms part of the massive re-development of Smith Street. Completion of the project will result in the restoration of the facade of the Coles Store. The terms of the permit issued by the City of Yarra state that a report by a “suitably qualified and experienced heritage architect” must be provided and approved. The report will address the method for reconstruction, materials, finishes and detailing for the facade of the building.
